HIGH CRIMES

This was a clear case of the movie being better than the book:

- in the book, the character of Annie was totally superfluous;
- in the movie, Jackie's being a psychic is much more plausible, given the way she is drawn, than her being a technical writer;
- in the movie, the result of the trial being a definite not guilty verdict underscores the theme better than a mistrial being called;
- in the movie, the epilogue adds lots to the story in and of itself
